"It's Me! Gigi!"

I thought it was time to do another cow painting. I love doing these guys. When i first started painting full-time I painted a cow and many more after that. So many in fact i became the "Cow Guy". Not really what i wanted to be so began painting boats, villages, people, anything but cows. Alas they kept a calling and i could not resist their charm, their curiosity, and their beauty. There is something about these creatures that is most endearing. And they give us so much i feel i can honour one or two with a painting.

This beauty belongs to a lady in Holland who graciously shares the photos she has of her herd. I am deeply indebted to her for her generosity in doing so.

Gigi is approximately 13" X 18" unframed and is transparent watercolor on Arches 300lb. CP paper.

Pat you are so great. I feel like painting now. Smile! I hope to capture some of their personality. It's in the eyes. I love doing them and look for images that have great eyes. You made my day. Thanks so much Pat.....

Hi Christiane. So nice to see you here. I have not been very diligent with my posting and painting as life and work are getting in the way. But there are a few hours saved for studio time and Gigi came to life. Hope all is well there in your world and you are happily painting and showing. I must go visit your blog and see what you are up to. Thanks for visiting Christiane.

About Me

I am fortunate to have a permanent studio space in an art gallery where i can spend time at my life long dream of being an artist. I am motivated mostly by strong patterns and value conrast. I love to play with color and explore the relationships they have. I pray to honor God with my paintings and hope you enjoy your visit. My email address is: rosslynem@gmail.com

The Pauloman!

This is the Pauloman who is no longer with us. He lost a tough battle on Feb.17, 2013. We loved this little guy so much and miss him dearly. He was such a character and enjoyed sitting on the couch with us watching a movie and sharing our treats. An amazing dog he was and a more loyal fellow you would be hard pressed to find.

My Bella.

This is our other boxer, Bella. She is a sweet girl who is also very intuitive. If someone is sick she knows and will try to care for them. She is also afraid of snowmen, hot air balloons and road construction beacons. She loves to cuddle and can sing her heart out when she hears Willie Nelson or any harmonica music. She makes our lives richer and we love her to pieces.

"Jiminy"

Jiminy was a rescue dog who came to us terribly underweight and malnourished. He is now a handsome and energetic little clown who makes us laugh all day long. In a very short time he has stolen our hearts.
